When the hag shows at my house, I do get depressed about not being pregnant. But I get <i>more</i> depressed that I have to wait 5 weeks to ovulate again before we even get another chance at it. I've thought the same thing about the adoption wait. I think I'll get through that the same way I'm getting through the "trying to get pregnant wait"--one bitter day at a time.

The waiting is terrible....feeling like you're always in Limbo. Yes, definitely the one step at a time approach is the best way to look at things if you can. I know 2 yrs. seems like a lifetime right now but the time will go by faster than you think. And, if you know what your course of action will definitely be, you won't have to work around "what if's" and might actually be able to do some stuff during that 2 years that you haven't been able to due to IVF and all the unknowns. I don't know.....trying to put a bit of a positive spin on things here but definitely acknowledging that it sucks. Hey, if it makes you feel any better, your day was more exciting than mine :)

I'm casting about for new hobbies and occupations to pass the time. Hope I don't become musclebound with all the exercising. Or gutbound with all the eating, depending on which activity dominates. Good luck, I'm hoping for very good things this time. Yes indeed, the wait. I’m casting about for new hobbies and occupations to pass the time.

I never waited for anything that much...argh...one day at a time is just a "nicer" way of calling waiting hell in my opinion. We will soon be waiting 4 years...feels like forever. Hope Af comes soon.

It doesnt get easier and I don't think we learn to handle it any better I mean really how many days can you measure the length of your leg hair growth for without that becoming tedious? but hey the unplugging of the shower drain now that's newsworthy stuff ok that's stretching things maybe not newsworthy but it beats what I did today which was a fat nothing. whoever said one day at a time wasn’t on a perpetual wait cycle.

I understand where you're coming from when you say it's probable that it won't happen...but it could. And all this crap will have been worth it in the end.

I hear you on one month vs. two years. I couldn't imagine. Maybe take lots of vicodin and vodka during the wait. You can at least make the time go faster that way. (or would it be slower given that you'd end up in rehab? hmmm...) Seriously, sorry for all the disappointments and waiting. Waiting sucks. Amanda, the waiting is the worst.
